THE B4TTLE WON.

The people of Great Falls and oil
all Cascade county r grateful to ev-
eryone who aided them in the recent
contest. They appreciate the fair,
liberal spirit eyinced by the Helena
Herald and Independent, the Butte
Inter-Mountain and other journals
who supported the cause. They are
thankful to Mr.. Paris Gibson who as
the founder of the city, took a leading
part in the popular movement and by
his organizing ability and executive
skill, developed that popular outburst
which, like cascade, swept such der
bris as Bob Ford before it. From the
outset, Mr.. Gibson's courage and con-
fdence were mistaken, and made
others as resolute as himself. In
Helena, the presence of Col. Broad
water counteracted the mistaken ac-
ton of the board of trade, and like
another victor he might say: Il
came, I saw, [ conquered" Great
Falls values the aid he rendered at
that critical moment, when by his
energy he turned the tide OF battle
with such good result. The mastery
skill of Hon. r. +. Collins and the res
olute e%arnestness of Hon. Jesse lay
lor, will ever be remembered grateful
~ by the people for whom they labor
ed so successfully. The people also
appreciate the services of our own
volunteers, Judge Rolfe, Comfy At
torney Taylor, Hon. Sam Nichols,
County Clerk Matkin and Louis G.
Phelps, who each worked zealously
at the capital in order that all the leg
islators might know the full justice of
our claim and the ~falseness of the as
sertions which were made to damage

selves and as a just rebuke to those
gloomy people who predicted disaster
to all concerned, we quote the follow
ing timely article from Mr.. Nantes
own paper, the Butte Inter Mountain:
1T is a singular fact. that despite
the red-hot opposition and dire fore
bodings and charges of fraud and
corruption and predictions of general
Generalization which have been call
ed forth whenever an effort was made
to erect a new county in this territory,
not one of the dismal prophecies has
been proved to be correct by suisse
quent events. When Silver Bow
county was created it was held that
the people thereof would starve to
death, and that poor old Deer Lodge
would be unrighteously despoiled.
Yet Silver Bow is the most prosperous
county in Montana, and Deer Lodge
IS equally happy and progressive.
1t was the same with Yellowstone,
Dawson. Fergus and Park, and it will
be the same with Cascade. When
the heart of the argument is over the
opposing sides will shake hands, and
Benton will congratulate Great Falls,
and the prosperity of neither Choteau
nor Cascade will be lessened. The
experience Of the past il Montana in
the matter Of the division of counties
certainly indicates that here the peo-
pie in one section of a county find
there interest opposed by the people
of another section, it is wise and
statesmanlike, the population and
assessahle property being adequate,
to create a separate county govern
ment. In no other way can harmony
be promoted and the general welfare
be subserved."

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

Among the strong, earnest friends
Of the Cascade county bill was the
Hon. Lee Mantle of Butte. He ex-
ercised his right as a representative
to scrutinize the provisions Of the bill
and read and heard the arguments
on both sides, but when he decided to
aid the bill, his support was mistaken
and jealous. Mr.. Mantle had seen
the small county of Silver Bow sep
arated from Deer Lodge after stub
born opposition, wherein arguments
such as those put forward by Choteau
were advanced in the interest of the
parent county. He had seen the peo-
pie constrained to renounce party
lines and combine unitedly for county
diyision,in order to overeomet the stub
born opposition which Deer Lodge
made to the proposed division. Final
", Mr.. Mantle has seen all misstate-
ments refuted by the steady growth
and prosperity OF Silver Bow county.

rail with the young county which has

Kasson in Jail.

F. w. Kasson left here about a week

in Helena. Being short of cash he called
on Mr.. Harris of the Journal Publishing
Company after banking hours and asked
him to cash a check for So, observing that
he would like to have him inquire his
standing at the bank. Mr.. Harrison did 50
next day, and learned that Kasson had no
stadding at all. Accordingly Mr.. Harrison
had kasson arrested. He plead guilty
and was sent up for 80 days. Other es-

Joseph Delorme recently secured posi-

lions to watch, feed and care for. Delorme
was later promoted, with the additional pas
time Of riding in the street parade Gagged up
with den of lions. Delorme carried load
ed revolver and a weighted cowhide. The
largest one of three lions, old Nimrod, re-
quires constant watching. Delorme was
anxious to have the lions teeth drawn, but
such q suggestion was secuted by the own
ers. Some of the employees laughed at De-
lorme for keeping his eyes SC. persistently
riveted on the lion. The other show paraded
up Main street in Bridgeport Conn. On the
corner of Fairfield avenue is the cab-stand,
where Delorme had been engaged last win
ter. He had his eye on the lion until some
of the cabmen shouted to him, calling his
name and waving their hands, For an in
slant Delorme removed his eye off the lion to
salute his friends, when without warning
the huge beast sprang towards him with
glaring eyes and open jaws. Delorme
dropped upon his knees and fired his pistol

The Severalty BIZ,

DIR. L. A. Bland, corresponding Secretary
OF the Indian Defence Association of Wash
ington, d. c.. has been giving his views to
Boston newspaper ON Senator Dawes's sew
crafty bill passed by Congress last winter.
DIR. Bland describes 1t as "new and shorter
scheme" by which the old advocates of ex-
termination can accomplish their purpose
under the disguise of philanthroDic move
ment in the Indians behalf. He says:
This scheme is to break up Indian reservations,
allot small homesteads to the Indians in several
~ and open the remainder of their lands about
hve-sixtbs Of the whole now owned by the tribes,
TO white settlers, railroad companies, land syndi-
Gates, etc., ETC. By the adj cdpta1dltla logic that
Indians ought TO be treated like other folks thai
TO divide their lands in seYeralty and put them
under the protection OF The laws OF the Terrific
RES would make them a civilized self-supporting
people, and thus solve the Indian problem az
once and without further trouble and expense
by thls sort Of reasoning they have captured a
large number OF Eastern people, who desire that
Justice be done the Indians, but whose knowl-
eoge o. indian character and the history of Ind-
an affairs IS very meagre and almost wholly based
on hearsay. The we'll informed friends OF the IN
alans, the scientists and the practical statesmen
Know ~ taat tnls policy has been tried on a number
and that II must inevitably fail
The Doctor has the goodness to say that
he does not believe that the different Indian
Associations which have supported this hill
are in league with those who think that the
only good Indian is dead Indian. In his
opinion they are dupes, not accomplices.
But these people whom Dr. Bland regards as
dupes are among the most thoroughly in
formed people in the country upon the In
dian problem. They have made it study
for years, and have examined it in all its
bearings. Senator Dawes is one of the most
prominent of them. and they include some
of the ablest members of both Houses of
Congress. 1t takes very credulous person
indeed to believe that these men are the

HOW MUCH CAN A MAN EARN7
A Large Salary paid Railroad Mag
nate, which He viii Try and Earn.
New York Mail. ]


1t is said that Thomas ]. Potter, vice.
president and general manager of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, has
been receiving salary of $4,000 year. 1t
is further reported that as general manager
OF the Union Pacific Railroad he has signed
contract for five years at an annual COM
pensation of $4,000 year. These figures to
some may appear to be enormously beyond
the ability OF any man to return an equiya
lent In time or work. To others the larger of
these sums will seem small when the respon-
slblllty OF the position is fully considered.
1t is an affair of daily Occ urrence. so com
mon that no attention is paid to it, for an en-
ploye to receive salary of $1,000 a wear for
experimenting the management of bust
ness whose aggregate for year may fall be-
low $4,000 There are many men who re-
celye $1,000 year for directing a business
WhcSe volume does not in the course of n
year reach $4,000. Mr.. Potter. as the exec
utlye head Of the Union Pacific Railroad,
will be the representative of a corporation
whose capital stock runs up into the millions
OF dollars. An Insignificant per cent of this
enormous aggregate pays his salary of $50
600 year. II he has the ability to handle
millions OF dollars in such way that a sat
lslactory proht IS returned to the stockhold-
ers, then his salary is small in comparison
with That OF another officer who in controll-
ing the same business fails to make the re-
celpts overbalance the expenses. II is from
this standpoint that the services of the great
railroad manager must be measured. There
are very few men capable of grasping the
details OF a large business, and they are
therefore in position to command large
compensation. AT the same time the stock
holders, of the corporation are in
divldually paying no more for the SER
vices of Mr.. Potter than some vast
ly smaller business house or factory is
paying its superintendent who receives
salary Of $4,000 year. There are those
VINO contend that no man can earn $50, 900 a
year by honest work. This would be true if
the work was confined to digging bitches or
TO holding the pillow. There are thousands
who can do ordinary kinds of work. and
sta, stand ready to do it for day laborers' wages.
Ihere are very few, men endowed by nature
with the genius Of directing the affairs of an
the difference.
